I don't see the sense to use an front end for an front end to see a Tweet, apart with one whose PP is quite questionable

...Here is an example of a request in the log file:

::ffff:127.0.0.1 - - [14/Feb/2022:00:02:58 +0000] "GET /jack HTTP/1.1" 302 60 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/77.0.3865.120 Safari/537.36"
Using twiiit.com adds a layer where one's IP is visible. One's IP is visible to twiiit.com then to whatever Nitter instance twiiit.com redirects the query to. Is this correct?

Yes. When somebody uses the site their IP is visible to the service. Once they are redirected to one of the Nitter instances their IP is visible to that particular instance.

You can use Tor or a VPS to obfuscate your IP address and useragent.

This last is what I can do also without the need to use Nitter and Twiiit apart of the trackerblocker and randomizing fingerprints which I use anyway.
Nitter sadly is dead and patch it with an front end don't fix it at the long therm. Whats the next, another front end for Twiiit to see a Tweet ocassionaly?
